DJ Zandimaz, born Zandile Mazithulela, has been hospitalized owing to exhaustion from a hectic performance schedule over the holiday season. From December 28 to January 4, the brilliant DJ toured Southern Africa, performing at several shows.
DJ Zandimaz shared a photo of herself on a drip to highlight the physical toll her rigorous schedule had on her body. “For health concerns, I always get a drip. From December 28 to January 4, I was busy travelling between provinces, working, and touring. There was little time for exercise and proper food, but I needed to regain my vitality,” she explained.
The artist also opened up about her ongoing health challenges, including a past battle with a brain tumour. “I need to take it easy from [my] hectic performance schedule as the brain tumour really messed me up, so I had to go and get the doctor’s attention — get the vitamins.”
In 2022, while touring the UK, DJ Zandimaz suffered a seizure, followed by another in Zambia. After seeing a doctor, she learned she had a brain tumour. She took a year off to focus on recovery, but her health struggles continued, leading to anxiety and nervous system issues. “I couldn’t walk properly,” she added.
